As this picture and the next one illustrate, Cormick has decided to become a lawnmower repairman.

We've sort of adopted this stray cat. I can't say that we'll keep him, but we're feeding him and putting an ad in the paper to see if someone claims him. Cormick loves him and calls him Inky.

Luckily, Inky is a very patient cat

The drum music at the Pow Wow was exactly Cormick's speed. We couldn't stop him from dancing.

After the Pow Wow, we went to DQ for a cool treat at which time Cormick started to scare the other patrons by yelling "BYE! SEE YOU!" at the top of his lungs as they exited the parking lot.

Grandma is here for a visit and she brought a new bubble machine. Cormick was, at first, not too sure about it, but he gradually got the hang of it!

Cormick becoming less afraid of the bubble machine -- see how he's creeping up to touch the bubbles

This next series of photos are Cormick's first photo self-portraits. He just kept clicking away. Perhaps he'll become a professional photographer.

Today we went to the base sponsored easter egg hunt. We decided to use Cormick's bunny costume one more time. As you can tell from the picture, he was overwhelmed by the many things he wanted to do once we got there. He was minimally interested in finding Easter eggs.

Then he saw the ballet bar and the egg hunt was completely forgotten

He really enjoyed hanging on the bar

Finally, Cormick saw an egg he wanted . . .

Nevermind that there was a door on the other side. He wanted into that bus right away!

Then the bus totally collasped on him

And voila! He still has his egg!

After finishing with the toddler egg hunt, we moved next door to see how the "big" kids were doing. The whole gym was filled with shredded paper!

Then Cormick got into the act. He was so happy to sit and play!

He loved to play in the paper

You can see how deep the shredded paper was by how high it is on Cormick

I have to bribe Cormick to be quiet in the jog stroller while I'm running so I've settled on Dum Dum lollipops. They turn his mouth some fairly interesting color variations.
